the game is phenomenal and here are the reasons. first of all the fact that all the iconic places of midgar are recreated in 3D is a real marvel to see. the cut scenes are great and all the characters personalities are spot on. the game is linear yet also open. in the original this section was in fact the same way so the feel is authentic. the main missions are much larger in scale and cinematic. main quest almost feels like youre playing a whole new game and its very impressive. the battle system allows for you to control other characters in your party. its fluid and real time with the same strategic feel as an rpg. the materia system is on point. tou can upgrade everyones weapons and expand materia slots. the side missions arent merely "fluff" as anyone who actually played the game knows there actually isnt even that many. the music is place's perfectly in its respective places as well. im entering chapter 9 and ive been playing a while. there is 18 chapters. many places that was once a quick run across the screen is now a full rendered area in 3D. the game feels cohesive and most importantly its fun and interesting. if each installment is done this way i will be very pleased.
